Chapter 349: There is no escape
Those who are stained with blood will become easy to kill, and since ancient times, if the lieutenant colonel of the army does not kill with his own hands, he will not be able to fight bravely in the battle. The so-called ferocious spirit is the murderous spirit. The one who is easy to kill makes people fearful, and the one who eats people? People in the world often say that when the tiger's body is shaken, those who see it will be subdued, and this is used as a cannibal, and it is appropriate to be afraid. The cannibal man flashed fiercely, is there anyone in the world who is not afraid?
The skeleton on the chest of every wolf knight soldier was the one who had entered his belly, and the violent and bloodthirsty aura was more than many times that could be killed, and after the hellish torture, they had become completely cruel. The "iron and blood" that Dayong talked about in Matsuyama was most thoroughly confirmed in them.
The 3,000 Liaodong cavalry led by Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui are pieced together by various families in Liaodong, and most of them are soldiers who have never been in battle, compared with the elite of the Liao army brought by Zu Dashou to the Daling River, these 3,000 cavalry are called "Liaodong cavalry" and are somewhat out of place. But it is undeniable that these 3,000 cavalry are not brave enough, but they still have the courage to fight. Perhaps, the past reputation of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry gave these cavalry to rely on, and when they roared and rode their horses to charge, everyone was invincible and invincible in the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
It's a pity that when this cavalry, which has not even been stained with human blood, faces a group of skeleton men who have survived by cannibalism, the destruction is only a matter of moments, because they are much shorter in terms of momentum.
The wolf cavalry, which was proficient in battle formations and was extremely bloodthirsty, rushed into the Liaodong cavalry with a triangular formation, and the first hideous and terrifying commander Shi Dayong and Cao Bianjiao, who were unstoppable, were like fierce gods, and fiercely tore apart the formation of the Liaodong cavalry.
Prior to this, the main battle equipment of the wolf cavalry army was the three-eyed gun, which was a standard equipment, and after the capture of Dengzhou, most of the three-eyed guns in the army were broken and unusable. This kind of cold weapon that cuts at human flesh shows the heroism of a man on the battlefield, which is very longed for by Da Yong since his inception.
Although blood can't change this era, it can make Dayong and his subordinates feel proud like never before.
Our knife has cut the head of the Eastern Prisoner, our knife has cut the head of the thief, our knife is the knife of the Son of Heaven, and it is the knife that truly defends the Ming Dynasty.
In this era when the Huaxia Building is about to collapse, what we lack is pride
The knife rises and falls, the heads roll off the horse, and the stumps and broken arms are constantly thrown.
To deal with these 3,000 Liaodong light cavalry, Dayong even disdained to let the wolf cavalry wear heavy armor, and did not need the cooperation of the infantry army, as for those new attached soldiers and horses, they couldn't even touch the edge, in his opinion, these 1,000 warriors were enough.
Moreover, he never thought that there was any so-called "Liaodong Iron Cavalry" in the world of the Ming Dynasty, and in the battle of the Daling River, he had never seen a dumbfounded cavalry battle between the Ming and Jin sides. For the Ming army trapped in the Daling River, Dayong only saw a small number of cavalry, and compared with the Houjin Eight Banners, although the equipment was similar, it was obvious that the former did not have the bloodthirsty spirit of the latter.
In addition to his own death-defying charge on the banks of the Xiaoling River and the killing of Jinzhou City, Dayong really ignored the Liaodong Iron Cavalry that boasted about the government and the opposition. It is the Liaodong cavalry under Zu Dashou that is really powerful, and it has become a thing of the past, and it has become a white bone on the black land, and now, his opponent is just a general who helps the soldiers on horses.
I haven't paid attention to the real Liaodong Iron Horse, so why am I afraid of you fake Iron Horsemen. I'm not even afraid of the Eight Banners, so how can I be afraid of you fake cavalry.
The evolution of the battle was not as "determined by one drum" as Zu Dabi boasted to Gao Qiqian beforehand, and the drums of the Ming army camp had sounded for the third time.
When the drum sounded again, Zu Dabi's arms were so sore that he couldn't lift his knife, and the bravery of the cavalry of the Jinzhou Army made him completely realize that his previous estimate was completely wrong, and there were ownerless war horses and corpses lying on the ground everywhere he looked.
Many soldiers did not die, most of them were cut off by the swift Jinzhou cavalry, and the blood gushing from the severed limbs was like a spring, even now that the armistice was allowed to heal the Langzhong, these soldiers could not last long. When the pain gradually becomes numb due to excessive blood loss, it is natural that life will be lost.
So far, the Liaodong cavalry has lost half, and on the other hand, those Jinzhou cavalry with skeletons on their chests do not seem to have suffered much loss, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides has reached five to one or even seven to one, that is to say, the death of 1,500 Liaodong cavalry has been exchanged for 100 casualties of Jinzhou cavalry.
It's not that these Liaodong cavalry are not brave enough, it's just that they still lack iron and blood. This kind of battle result shocked Zu Dabi, he only remembered that this kind of battle loss was only experienced when he fought with the cavalry of Dongyu back then. Although each time his cousin Dashou only sent a few hundred people to fight in the Dongjiao, when these hundreds of people were completely annihilated by the 100 or even dozens of people in the Dongjiao, the cousin Dashou no longer cared about the friendly troops who were still fighting hard with the Dongyu infantry and resolutely turned around and fled. Every time, he can lead the main force to escape back safely, and there are too many reasons for the court to explain.
This time, Zu Dabi fell into the ice cellar with a heart, and Zu Dashou was able to escape back safely every time, but he couldn't escape if he wanted to. He wanted to lead his troops back to the camp several times, but each time the Jinzhou cavalry seemed to see through his intentions and firmly blocked his back road.
The Jizhen soldiers behind were supposed to respond forward according to the order, but I don't know why, the Jizhen soldiers did not come up according to the order, but slowly retreated. This made Zu Dabi feel angry that he had been betrayed by his allies.
Looking for his nephew Wu Sangui in the chaotic army, he found that Sangui was leading his Wu family's personal soldiers to desperately rush towards the right flank.
Sangui led dozens of soldiers among 10,000 people to successfully rescue his brother-in-law Wu Xiang, although today's battle is also dangerous, and it seems that the defeat is certain, but there should be no problem in successfully escaping back to the camp.
Zu Dabi thought so, shouting that he wanted his soldiers to gather to him, this battle could not be fought again, the ferocity of the Jinzhou cavalry was not under the Eight Banners, and if it continued, the cavalry that had been put together would be completely annihilated, and at that time, what else could Liaodong come up with to balance Shi Dayong, who returned to the division.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"
Zu Dabi immediately ordered the whole army to retreat, but he soon found that he could not escape, and he saw hundreds of steps away, a group of Ming troops were rushing towards his place surrounded by Shi Dayong, who had a broken face. In the direction of his nephew Sangui, there is also a "Cao" general flag fluttering in the chaos
The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, and the gentleman does not stand under the wall. Dayong, as the chief general of the First Army in Jinzhou, it stands to reason that he should not take the lead, for him, it is to be in command of the Chinese army. But Dayong is brave in every battle, and he never hides behind and watches his subordinates fight bloodily. If he couldn't wield the sword in front of him, Dayong would even feel that he was worthless as a master.
The man is a husband, and when he dies, he is shrouded in horse leather, and when he is born, he is indomitable.
Up to now, Dayong has lost count of how many Liaodong cavalry he has killed, and countless young, old, fierce, and timid Liao soldiers have been chopped off his horse by him. A bearded cavalryman looked extremely fierce and brave, but after slashing two wolf cavalrymen in succession, he was still slashed in the neck by Dayong's unmistakable knife, after the blade, a piece of blood red bloomed beautifully in the air, and then, the cavalryman's eyes remained in disbelief, and the bearded head then completed a perfect backward somersault for two and a half weeks, fell under the war horse, and before he could blink, he was stepped on by the companion behind him and stepped on it. The eyeballs squeezed out with brains.
Guo Yi, who was guarding Dayong, was slashed in the left shoulder, but fortunately there was armor on his body, so the knife failed to cut into the flesh, but it also hurt.
When Dayong led his guards to behead Zu Dabi, a Liao soldier who retreated with Zu Dabi shot an arrow at Dayong indiscriminately, and shot it on Dayong's cheek impartially, so shocked that he shouted left and right, and Guo Yi howled and wanted to save Dayong.
Many people on both sides of Liaojin saw Dayong hit the arrow, for a while, the Jinzhou army was panicked, the Liaodong army was bold, Zu Dabi was even more ecstatic, and he opened his mouth to shout "The thief is dead", but he saw that Dayong, who should have fallen off the horse, didn't care about pulling out the arrow stuck in his cheek, and then threw it behind his head without looking at it, and the long knife waved and rushed to kill Zu Dabi.
"Mom, this is a person, this is clearly a ghost!"
The courage that the Liaodong cavalry still had disappeared without a trace at this moment, and many people clearly saw that the thief general was hit by an arrow, but the thief general rushed over again unscathed. Such a brave general, what is it if it is not Changshan Zhao Zilong?
"It's down, it's down!"
In an instant, hundreds of Liao horsemen stood still, dismounted and threw down their weapons, and they gave up resistance. After the surrender, the Liao cavalry did not worry about being slaughtered by the other party, because they knew that these Jinzhou troops who were fighting with them were actually the official soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, although they didn't know why they wanted them to fight with these soldiers and horses of the Ming army, but since the other party was also the official army of the Ming Dynasty, this should not be a dead hand to the comrades.
It's dangerous!
Dayong also had palpitations, the arrow came quietly, and it was shot on his cheek at once, before the cannon was not hit, but this arrow was also fatal, but now it is not harmful, because there is no flesh and blood on the left side of Dayong's face, only the cheekbones covered by the thin skin, this arrow is considered to pass by, although it also hurts Dayong to death, but it is not fatal.
After pulling out the arrow, Dayong raised his long knife, angry, the wolf nature in his heart was completely stimulated, howling "rush, kill", staring at the blood-red eyes, and rushed straight towards Zu Dabi.
The morale of the Liaodong cavalry had completely collapsed, most of them dismounted and begged to surrender, and the Jinzhou army ignored them, and went straight to the fleeing Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui to surround them.
With more and more wolf riders freeing their hands, Wu Sangui and Zu Dabi had no way to escape.
